I’m in the market for a new monitor and I wanted to get a ultrawide, I almost exclusively play videogames on my PC. I found some good candidates, but because of price I’m heavily leaning towards a flat panel instead of a curved one, namely AOC U34G3X.

Is a flat ultrawide panel much worse than a curved one for gaming? I’ve used flat panels since they started selling it, but the longer diagonal scares me a bit. I’m currently using a 27" flat panel.

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!

    After a long debate I think I’m almost certain it will be a RX 6800XT, as I don’t really need the extra nVidia bits like Ray Tracing, and also price per performance is a bit better with AMD cards (at least in my country, since the 6800XT gets more FPS than a 4070 while costing 10% less). Also not very fond of nVidia after the various stuff they pulled with the release of 40-series cards, and last but not least, I’m going to switch to Linux permanently and AMD drivers are a tad better in that regard. Your mileage may vary a lot from mine haha so if you want RT, and can find nVidia cards at more reasonable prices, I think a 4070/4070ti should be good enough for ultrawide 1440p, especially with DLSS
